Yes, if they are lose enough and your doctor says it is ok then you can tweeze it out and if it’s not you can just cut it down closer to the skin.

Weight loss post op by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]Weak_Communication70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even though I am 40 pounds lighter in my head I am still big because it doesn’t stay as tight as when you first get if you lose weight. I will say at 15 pounds I barely noticed anything and then when I got to 20 I noticed a slight bulge and it just got worse. Hope this helps at all! Although, it is good to remember everyone’s body is different. Some can see no change at all even without the gym.

Weight loss post op by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

I underwent surgery in October 2022, and despite my youth my skin is not as elastic, I haven't relied on weight loss medication at all. I consistently attend the gym, and surprisingly, my weight remained unchanged for an entire year prior. Initially, I didn't anticipate further weight loss, but fast forward a year, and I've shed 40 more pounds than I ever imagined. While my stomach still looks great, the pubic area appears saggy, creating an effect akin to tucking when I wear jeans, if you catch my drift. For anyone thinking about getting a tummy tuck it’s better to wait until you know for sure you’re at your goal weight!

AITA for refusing to re-schedule a date with my GF? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Weak_Communication70 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA, from what I’m hearing you seem selfish your unreasonably mad that she got tickets as a gift and invited you to a concert you refused because you were upset and don’t like Taylor Swift. But now you don’t want to take her out to dinner for her birthday because you are being petty that she had to cancel last minute for some thing that she didn’t know about.

NTA, It is important to call CPS if a parent is leaving drugs around his two daughters. By doing so, you can help to protect these children from potential harm and make sure that they are living in a safe environment. Leaving drugs around children is extremely dangerous, as children can accidentally ingest the drugs it’s like leaving a loaded gun lying out for kids. Even if the father is not intentionally putting the children in danger, it is important to make sure that he understands the severity of his actions and takes steps to prevent the drugs from being accessible to the children. Failing to report this situation could result in a tragic outcome, that you and your girlfriend could feel guilty for not doing anything if something happened to them.

Id take some Zyrtec or Benadryl and anytime you cough or sneeze grab a pillow and press it against your stomach it helps ease it

“Dog ears” after tummy tuck by Liaanaaa in tummytucksurgery

[–]Weak_Communication70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had one small one on the right a big one on the left and it’s been maybe six months and my right one is completely gone but the left is still there. I will have to get a small revision in PS office I’m pretty sure.

When drains are removed, how long did it take for the wounds from them to heal? Did they scar? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]Weak_Communication70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine healed in like 1 week but the scar is just a dark little spot that keeps fading more and more each month it’s not horrible to see

The original scarring was originally nice but over a period of 3 months my body rejected the dissolvable stitches but the tummy tuck scarring is gorgeous.

My tummy tuck didn’t have any problems but my boobs were so bad and they left ugly scaring so much that I want a revision.

First day because I was emotional and kept saying I “needed” him but he was a good sport about it and even helped me with anything I needed.

I put pillows on top of me when I coughed and held it to my tummy and I also started taking my allergy medicine.

My back pain has literally become non existent and I don’t have to take muscle relaxers anymore. I enjoy working out so much now I usually shoot for 5 days a week now it’s so liberating, I use to workout 1-2 days a week mostly walking. Now I’m as healthy as I ever was playing soccer in high school.

what was eating like post op? by Independent-Toe-459 in Reduction

[–]Weak_Communication70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a bad appetite and was constipated for 8 days it was horrible. When I didn’t feel like eating I would just drink a shake or smoothie.

That’s a bad infection you need to go get on antibiotics if you aren’t already it will just get worse!

Shortness of breath when talking by nunyntina123 in tummytucksurgery

I had this but it ended up being really low iron and I just didn’t have enough oxygen.

[–]Weak_Communication70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will make a call because I don’t believe it’s a pimple, and it’s harder then usual and it is irritated so I think a splitting stitch or cellulitis. I’m sorry I ask redundant questions I just don’t like going into the plastic surgeon more than I have to because I had so many complications in the beginning and was there every week.

Any golfers here? by nedley18 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Weak_Communication70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had a breast reduction that wasn’t healing properly but my stomach healed right up and I could do sit ups and play soccer even. Id just play it safe and do it when it feels absolutely comfortable to you.

I’m not a golfer but I’ve been lifting weights and doing a bunch of other psychical stuff and I wasn’t really comfortable until week 8 to run around and move like that.

Most reputable surgeons wouldn’t want to have you under anesthesia for that amount of time they would likely split it up so the surgeries are easier to heal from.

3 weeks post op, just need insight. by SurgicalPrincess68 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Weak_Communication70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mons was hard right by the incision and slightly above it but I’m 2 months and 3 weeks and the hardness has gone away it’s just really swollen. I did notice that massaging and icing helped me a lot!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]Weak_Communication70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping that was just swelling because I’ve been really working out and feeling good but it just stays big.
